I’ve not had a good day today. The kids have been shits, my wife has winged at me for not doing something I have already done, I’m hot, tired and stressed from work and fed up of not having a good nights sleep due to my 3 year old waking us up in the middle of the night constantly.

I want to rage at something but I can’t leave the house. I have access to a gaming PC, PS5 and all the movies the streaming services have to offer, my wife isn’t home so it’s just me and a couple of kids who should be asleep in the next hour or two.

I need some catharsis, what would you do?

Honestly I usually ride my bicycle someplace but unless you have a stationary bike that doesn't sound workable (and I'm not sure a stationary bike would work anyway, I think actually leaving the building is a necessary part of the equation).

I have, however, gotten a lot of mileage out of smashing ice with one of those wooden cocktail ice smashing mallets. When you make crushed ice for fancy cocktails you put the ice in a little canvas bag and beat it with a wooden mallet. It's destructive, but in a harmless way.

Just don't do like I did the other week and go to slam the bathroom door, underestimate the degree to which your home's doors are made of paper mache, and accidentally knock a hole in the door. :( I can confirm this does not make you less mad.
